Thanksgiving came and went with a whirlwind of activity and fun. We had new flooring installed in the kitchen the day before Thanksgiving, which made for a very full week. We were blessed to have our family here with us to share in the feast and enjoyed some really delicious food together! We’re not bad [...]

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas
December 12, 2011First Haircut. Or, Bye-bye Mullet
December 11, 2011We were eating dinner last weekend and I looked over at our sweet girl and saw this: “She looks like she’s being raised by wolves!” I exclaimed. Jonathan assured me that she did not, in fact, look like a homeless person or someone who lives in the wild, but I just couldn’t take it anymore. [...]
Happy Thanksgiving!
November 24, 2011As you are probably aware, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I love the food, the football, the Thanksgiving Day parade, the leftovers, and having our house all warm and toasty from the combination of heat from the kitchen and many people around the table! Happy Thanksgiving to you! I’d also like to share the following [...]
She sings!
November 15, 2011Our little girl is reaching that wonderful stage where she begins to develop a rich imaginary life. It’s kind of amazing to watch: her mind always seems to be running through stories and songs and her toys are coming to life now; she narrates their lives as though she is reading a book (“‘I like [...]
October Recap
November 5, 2011October was a busy month! We took a family roadtrip to Chico, CA. Beatrice did a great job in the car! Naturally, we’d stocked up on activities, books and a portable DVD player and of course, one of her favorite items to play with was a crumpled paper towel. We stayed in a hotel and [...]
Pumpkin Patch
October 16, 2011As you are aware, I very much enjoy the autumn decorations and general autumn fun. Beatrice, it seems, has inherited the joy I find in autumn decor. Hooray! Through our CSA, we get a pumpkin (or two) each year and we went one Saturday to pick it up. First, we picked some chard, which Beatrice [...]
2.0
October 14, 2011Well, for some (most?) of you, this is not big news, but it hasn’t been on the blog yet, so I thought I’d make an official announcement of it: Yes, Beatrice is a Big Sister! Baby McPherson 2.0 (or just 2.0 or “Newbie”) is due February 4th! Yes, we do know this child’s gender….but we’re [...]
18 Months!
October 4, 2011Beatrice you are now 18 months old (this post is a couple of weeks late, but still relevant as I’d like to remember some of these little things). While you only just started walking at 16 months, it’s more as if you decided to show us you could walk at that time, for you never [...]
First Day of School
September 15, 2011Okay, not really school. We are part of a co-op toddler group that meets once a week at a local (sketchy) strip mall. A few of our friends from playgroup are in the class, making the transition a little easier since there are familiar faces! The format is basically open play and a little “circle [...]
Ingrid Michaelson
September 14, 2011One of our friends, Andrew, alerted us this weekend that Ingrid Michaelson would be performing live during lunch on Monday. We happily jumped at the opportunity to have a little family time during the day. Live music is a bonus and Ingrid Michaelson did not disappoint! Sadly, we did not think to take a video [...]
